high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404723

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This
side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a
Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large
amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the
ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that
connection. (CVE-2023-0361)
